ADOBE GALLERY
"Our mission is to facilitate the building of world-class Southwest Art collections while educating a new generation of collectors in the nuances of the Historic Pueblo Pottery market."
50 Years of Stewardship & Expertise
The story of Adobe Gallery is one of precision, passion, and an unwavering commitment to the Land of Enchantment. Founded in 1975 by Alexander E. Anthony, Jr., the gallery has spent half a century as a cornerstone of the Santa Fe art community.
Before becoming a leading authority on Southwest art, Captain Anthony served a distinguished 20-year career as a Nuclear Engineer in the United States Air Force. His scientific contributions were so significant that a mountain range in Antarctica was named in his honor: Anthony Bluff.
This "Engineer’s Eye" for detail transitioned seamlessly into the world of historic artifacts. What began as a personal collection of Pueblo Pottery evolved into a global destination for Historic Southwest Indian Pottery, Zuni Jewelry, Hopi Katsina Dolls, and Fine Art.
A Legacy of Knowledge
At Adobe Gallery, we believe that every acquisition should be an education. Mr. Anthony co-founded Avanyu Publishing in 1985, producing 18 definitive books on Southwest culture. His expertise has been sought by the Antiques Roadshow (where he serves as a consultant), and he has acted as a judge for the prestigious Santa Fe Indian Market and the Gallup Inter-tribal Ceremonial.
Our Historic Canyon Road Home
After 25 years in Albuquerque, we consolidated our collection into our historic home at 221 Canyon Road in Santa Fe. Our gallery features intimate rooms where the original hardwood floors still creak beneath your feet—a perfect setting for the masterworks of Maria Martinez, Nampeyo, and the Artist Hopid movement.
The Adobe Gallery Guarantee
We provide formal authentication for every item in our collection, guaranteeing its origin and integrity. We offer a full satisfaction refund policy because we want you to feel the same peace of mind with your purchase that we feel in presenting it.
